I bought a suede jacket at a yard sale this AM and it has some goop dripped onto it that the sellers identified as laundry detergent. Smells like it probably is (or fabric softener)and it will ruin the jacket if I can't get it off.

It was only a $3 jacket and I'm not willing to pay professional prices to get it cleaned but I'm willing to try something myself. If it doesn't work, oh well, $3 is a pretty small mistake!

Any tips on how to proceed? It's kind of just dripped down one side of the jacket but pretty thick in spots.

Care tag says:

Clean by leather specialists only

Do not clean by fabric method

Do not dry clean

Thanks,

John
